Cook’s Tip: Though it’s possible to cook the fish on top of the potatoes – some say this makes the best tasting potatoes – cooking separately allows better control over fish and potatoes. Especially the fickle floury potatoes, that must be drained as soon as they are soft, or they will burst before you know it and turn to ‘soup’.

Method
Preparing and Cooking
Wash fish and soak overnight in cold water. Rinse. Place the potatoes in a large pot. Season with salt and almost cover with water, then bring to the boil. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and simmer gently till the potatoes are just cooked. Put the fish into another pot and simmer till the flesh is just soft.
